Best things to do and see in Kenya

From where can you fly directly into Kenya?

Currently, there are no direct flights to Kenya from any of the airports in the U.S. All airlines flying to Kenya make one or two stops along the way. Dulles International Airport (IAD) serves as the main departure airport for flights to Kenya, while Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Kisumu International Airport (KIS), and Moi International Airport (MBA) serve as the destination airports. American Airways, Kenya Airways, and JetBlue are some of the airlines that offer one-stop flights from IAD to NBO. If you fly with Kenya Airways from IAD, you will have a layover of about six hours at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JKF) before proceeding to NBO. If you fly with JetBlue from IAD, you will be making a stop at Doha International Airport (DOH) before proceeding to your final destination at NBO. You increase your chances of getting better Kenya flight deals if you book one of the airlines that make two stops along the way. For instance, KLM and Air France depart from IAD, then stop at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) before proceeding to Nairobi, Kenya. Other popular airports in the U.S. serving as departure points for flights to Kenya are Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Qatar is one of the airlines flying from DCA and BWI to NBO, with layovers at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and DOH. For flights to Kisumu, Kenya, or flights to Mombasa, Kenya, consider booking Kenya Airways, American Airways, and Qatar Airways. If you book Kenya Airways from IAD to KIS or MBA, you will be making stops at DOH and NBO before getting to your final destination.

How do you get to the downtown from Kenya airports?

You have different transport options when getting to the city center from the different Kenya airports. From Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), you can conveniently get to the Nairobi city center using Citti Hoppa buses. These buses connect directly from the airport to the city center, taking about 30 minutes. Apart from the buses, you can also connect to the city center from NBO using Uber or Bolt taxis. Both Uber and Bolt have online apps on which you can conveniently request a taxi. A taxi from NBO to the Nairobi city center via the expressway takes between 10 and 15 minutes. From Kisumu International Airport (KIS) to Kisumu city center, Kenatco Taxis and Uber offer flexible and reliable means of transport. In light traffic, a taxi ride from KIS to Kisumu city center takes about 10 minutes. From Moi International Airport (MBA) to Mombasa city center, you can conveniently use Uber or bus lines 114R and 11F. A bus takes about 20 minutes, while a taxi takes about 15 minutes to arrive at the city center from Moi International Airport.

What passport or visa requirements are there when visiting Kenya?

A visa is a mandatory requirement for any visitor entering Kenya, including U.S. citizens. The good news is that U.S. citizens can conveniently apply for e-visas online and have them in a few minutes. Those who require multi-entry visas must apply for them well in advance before flying to Kenya. Additionally, a passport that meets two conditions must also be part of the documents required when flying to Kenya from any of the U.S. cities. The first condition that the passport must meet is that it should have at least two blank pages. In addition to this, the passport should also be valid for a period of not less than six months.
